"Five people guessed it right so we put their names in a hat and pulled out a winner, they won free ten pints from the pub.

"We raised £150 for Wheel Power, I can’t think of a more worthy local charity.

"They are a great charity and we were glad we could help them, Chiltern Brewery chose them and we decided to choose them as well.

"A big thank you to everyone who took part."

The mystery beer was Chiltern Wheeling and it was brewed by Chiltern Brewery.
